    Actually yes. If they’re grey tint, then it’s pretty much color-neutral. Which is beneficial if you want to see colors for what they are.

    You guys keep attacking as if DeSantis is my savior as much as Trump is yours. I don’t owe any politician my loyalty. So I’ll keep laughing.
    I mean, that's it, isn't it? Some Trump supporters are so enamored of him, that any criticism of, or even pointing out negative news about him gets you labeled as having TDS or as a rabid supporter of the politician du jour who is perceived as a threat. It sounds so uncannily familiar, almost as if Trump is the world's greatest ventriloquist.

    And some nonTrumps are always wanting to be on to the next big thing without even making sure that the NBT can even beat Biden. They don't want to perfect a proven winner, they want something all new that might be even more wonderfuller - and it might not - but at least they did the left's work for them and got rid of that orange guy

    Mindless change for change's sake. Choosing notTrump is still making a choice, however much jamil wants to hide behind the fiction that he hasn't made a choice

    That's why Honda is still making Civics and Detroit doesn't make cars at all

    Trump"s doubling, tripling and quadrupling down by bragging about the wonderful vaccine that he championed (and still does) are some of the things that caused this ex-Trump supporter to mindlessly change my mind. But not nearly as much as Trump's gigantic ego costing us the Senate in Georgia (*twice*).

    I used to mock my liberal acquaintances about how conservatives eat their own; if one of "our guys" says or does something that goes against our beliefs, we call them on it, and eventually withdraw our support. While they, the liberals, support their guy, right, wrong or idiotic. I sense that some of us ostensible conservatives are now falling into the left's cult of personality worship.

    You apparently have never done photography. People…well, normal people…wear sunglasses for other reasons than to make the world appear like they want it to be.
    Oh, from that reply I believe I've done quite a bit more photography than you have

    Just what do you think a neutral density filter does?

    So choosing to support a general that has won battles and weathered the worst of storms on the national stage is now defined as “cult of personality worship”?

    That pretty well sums it up, except “general” is a stretch.
    I couldn’t give a **** less about Trump’s personality, I look at the results of the best President in my life. You on the other hand are constantly discussing personality, so much so it appears you are in a cult of personality…

    Now, c'mon. We've been through this. We've already established early on in this thread that good that Trump did lasted past his term. Maybe it was this thread. It was one of these 2024 threads.

    Seriously? Yes, ND filters decrease the intensity of light hitting your lens. It absolutely does not "dull" the image unless you bought a cheap ass filter. The image is still properly exposed. It just allows you to open up the aperture or lower shutter speed to get the effects you want and still get the exposure right. The important part of a ND filter, it filters the light the same across the entire color spectrum, so there's no color bias added to the image.

    You can also get tinted filters, which intensifies certain colors. If that's what you're going for. I don't recall any teal filters, however, but I never had a purpose to look for one. I'm sure they make one. Seems like it would come in handy if you wanted to emphasize turquoise. Or maybe Trump's qualities.

    What? Always? Really? Next big thing huh.

    Here's the thing. You think Trump is a proven winner. I'm not so convinced. I think to perfect Trump he would have to change the parts of personality that make him a narcisist incapable of self-reflection. And it wouldn't hurt to up his IQ at least 20 points to put him in the same class as GWB, who was not the brightest bulb in the strand himself. And no one not on the left is doing the left's work. That's nonsense.

    Mindless change for change's sake. Choosing notTrump is still making a choice, however much jamil wants to hide behind the fiction that he hasn't made a choice

    Mindless change for change's sake? How so? I have made a choice to wait until election season and see what happens. But you seem to need for me...which is really ****ing odd, and a little creepy...to be your anti-Trump. That's kinda like an anti-christ, except it's Trump. I've made no secret that I'm not a big fan of Trump, and I think that's your whole problem. You don't like it that I don't care all that much for Trump, and I'm fairly vocal about it. And it appears I hit a nerve. It's not my intent to hit a nerve. But that's what it smells like.

    It's not about mean tweets. It's mostly the narcissism that prevents the self reflection that makes him learn from his mistakes. He doesn't think he makes mistakes. If he did, he's incapable of admitting it. Recognizing personality isn't evidence of cult of personality.

    APA defines cult of personality as: exaggerated devotion to a charismatic political, religious, or other leader, often fomented by authoritarian figures or regimes as a means of maintaining their power. Also called personality cult.

    Not all of what you guys do completely fits cult of personality. But the exaggerated devotion to Trump is certainly there. I think you guys also seem to see his presidency as having exaggerated success. He did a lot better than I thought he would. But IMHO, he's not the savior you guys act like he is. I think your faith in him is misplaced.

    Pretty much.

    No. Making excuses for the unexcusable and comically trying to shame those who point out the behavior is. Imo.
